Dog Walking Willimantic

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I have experience with senior dogs & cats. I have experience also administrating insulin to older dogs & other willing animals. I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Since 2013, my family has had a German Shepherd, and I was actively involved in his daily care and training as he grew up. Through that experience, I became comfortable with everything from basic obedience training to managing routines, walks, and general behavior. I’ve also helped care for my brother’s two dogs on multiple occasions, including feeding, walking, and spending extended time with them. I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m used to adapting to their needs and following specific care instructions closely. I currently work as a Graduate Assistant in the Philosophy Department at UConn. Over the summer, I’ll be continuing my research from home. I may need to be on campus once or twice a week, but otherwise I’m generally available throughout the week. I also spend a lot of time outdoors trail running or going on long walks, so I’m happy to give active dogs plenty of exercise if needed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can usually accommodate bookings with very little advance notice. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive environment where pets are supervised and cared for consistently throughout the day. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, training cues, and any special care needs such as medications or behavioral considerations. During walks, I am very mindful of surroundings and keep dogs safely leashed at all times. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the household and given a comfortable, low-stress environment with plenty of attention and exercise as needed. I also make sure to provide regular updates so you can feel confident and informed while you’re away.

About: I am new to the Rover app but I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and have a wide range of availability! I just want to be able to help those who need their fur babies taken care of without the added stress of boarding them. I have experience with lots of different animals, sizes, diets and medicine administration. I only have one pet in my house and he’s a small 20lb dog named Koda. He LOVES other animals and even has some cat bffs! I am home most week nights and weekends so i have pretty open availability! I take my dog on long walks after work and we are always looking for more company! I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very yard with a leash that is on a run with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! I have a spacious house and we welcome dogs on all furniture, so if you have a pet who prefers to cuddle up and sleep in bed, i’m your gal!

About: I’ve volunteered on and off since I was eight working with cats and dogs! I’ve always had a bond with them and I love working with them. Over covid my mom and I decided to start fostering so I was able to really get a first hand experience with having a dog live with us. All of them required different needs and TLC so I feel like I have lots of experience with working with all animals with different backgrounds. I also have a cat and a dog of my own! The last couple of pictures is Marshmallow, my high school science teacher’s pet bird that bonded with me! Now I go in every April and take care of her when he brings her in. I love all animals from walking to flying! I work part-time right now and I have availability any time Saturday and Sunday. During the week I’m available after 5:30! I get my schedule every Sunday so I can be super transparent to you about what my schedule looks like! I walk my dog 2-3 times a day. When I’m not at school I make sure to feed her at her dinner time and take her on her after dinner walks. With my cat, I make sure he’s well fed and happy and clean his litter box at least once a day. I have lots of experience with variations of personalities in cats and dogs and would treat your pet as if it was my own. To make sure your pet receives the ultimate treatment, I would want to make sure I know their needs and may ask for a list of the things he/she needs. I cant wait to look forward to meeting them!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: Ive been watching pet since I was a kid! It was usually friends and family, but now I’m opening up my books. Every pet is loved and cared for like it’s my own, and always treated like family. I work from home on my own photography business, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I treat them all like family, even if they’re not my own. I accommodate to the parents request, otherwise are treated with lots of love, and like a best friend. I pay attention to their body language, needs, and listen when they have something to say. Im also pretty great at listening when they tell me they have to go potty

About: My true passion is making sure rabbits get the spoiled life they deserve! It is important to understand rabbit care and their specialized needs. I have two bonded bunnies of my own and volunteer weekly to help bunnies in need. I've care for cats and rabbits most of my life and very passionate about their well-being. I have had rabbits and cats for almost half of my life! I treat all animals with respect and like they are my own! Currently in school for dental hygiene and looking to fill the extra hours in my week helping with pet care in my spare time! I volunteer weekly with rescues. I love working with animals! When caring for pets in my home, everything is pet safe and pet proofed. Pet safety is my main priority because they mean the world to me!

About: I have years of animal training under my belt and have had dogs my entire life. I have currently have an old Jack Russell and a cat! They love other dogs, so it’s been fun hosting over the past 10 years! We like to go on frequent walks, hikes, swims and anything else your pup enjoys. I do have little kids in the house, so the dog must have experience with children. Please note the following; **I do not accept puppies to board in my home** ** I require a meet and greet prior to accepting any new clients!** **MUST be cat friendly- This means has been around a cat** Any pick up that is more than 45 minutes late will incur an additional late pick up fee. I currently work part time- so I am home most of the time. I can let your dog out every 2-4 hours in our yard when I am not working. Daily walks outside. I have a dog friendly cat and a pet friendly house! I have a gated dog area with an open door crate for a safe space or quiet area.

About: I’ve worked with various types of pets, providing reliable care for dogs and cats. I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors, many of whom have repeatedly entrusted me with their beloved companions. My commitment to attentive and compassionate care ensures that pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. Pet care is an essential part of my routine. I have everything a pet owner needs—except for a pet of my own. Whenever I have someone else’s pet in my care, I always prioritize their schedule over my own. I care for every pet equally and with diligence. I treat each one as my own and provide everything I can to ensure their happiness.

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I’ve had 1 bird, 1 ferret, 5 cats, and 6 dogs. I’ve trained 2 Dogs to obey basic commands and good potty habits. Im available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I work from home on Friday and I don’t work the weekends at all. I can also be flexible during week days as needed. I take my dogs for walks every 3 hours or at their request. We play fetch and tug-o-war in my backyard. My basement is a complete doggy daycare.

“Angelina was very prompt and you can tell she loves Dogs! She was great! She did walks and playtime was a great service while my ankle heals! 5 stars!”

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

About: ⸻ What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care—think “Mary Poppins meets animal whisperer.” I don’t just watch pets; I create a nurturing, structured environment where they feel safe, loved, and engaged. I have experience with a wide range of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with administering medication, managing special diets, and adapting routines to meet each pet’s physical and emotional needs. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping with basic training, crate comfort, and establishing good habits early on. For senior pets, I provide thoughtful care—whether that’s supporting mobility, sticking to precise medication schedules, or simply offering quiet companionship. Beyond the basics, I bring a warm energy, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals that always shines through. My goal is for both pets and their humans to feel completely at ease—like they’ve found a sitter who’s not just capable, but truly cares. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I squeeze in; it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m walking dogs, administering medication, or simply spending quiet time with a senior pet, I structure my schedule to ensure each animal gets consistent, focused attention. I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care, from early morning potty breaks to evening feedings and bedtime routines. I also build in time for play, enrichment, and cuddles—because emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care. If I’m caring for multiple pets or have bookings throughout the week, I stay organized with detailed notes, reminders, and plenty of communication with owners. For me, caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s a rhythm I genuinely enjoy being part of. Pet care for clients home • Feeding & Fresh Water: Administer meals according to the pet’s schedule and dietary needs. • Daily Exercise & Play: Walks, fetch, playtime, or enrichment activities based on the pet’s energy level. • Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and ensuring the area is tidy. • Medication Administration: If required, administer medications or supplements as instructed. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, adjusting lights, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. • Communication: Sending daily updates, photos, or videos to the client.
